I just bought this album today from a used CD store. MAN am I disapointed. I had heard so many great things about LoG and all I find in them is repetetive unoriginal crap. The vocals are not bad though.

Meh I have to say I'm a die hard LoG fan, they're definitely one of my favorites. I'll admit though their riffs are repetitive, my friends and I comment on the fact that you can always tell a LoG song when it plays because of all the palm muted drop-D triplets they have going (i.e. they do the same shit in every song, but each one manages to sound different). Vocals are amazing though, this is the best album for that. As the Palace Burns is better (can't beat Ruin), and there's no keyboard it's all played on guitar.

The guy talking in "Ashes of the Wake" is talking about the Iraq war. about killing innocent Iraqis if the looked at all suspicious and says something along the lines of "This is a new type of war". he wasnt talking really about politics. I give it 4/5, one of the best metal albums this decade for sure IMO.

I like how you guys are talking about how the "first half of the song is good and the second half sucks". I thought this was an album review not a single review. There is more to their cd than "Laid to Rest", have a listen at their self-titled song: although it has no lyrics it slays. However, I still think As the Palaces Burn is better simpy for the fact that the structure of the songs are more varied and dont follow a particular formula which Ashes of the Wake seems to boarder on.

I'm not a huge LOG fan (I hate that abbreviation but it's funny to type) but I love seeing them live and their albums are always worth a few listens. I think this band is really overrated or underrated depending on who you ask, in my opinion they're good but not great.
